Saving...
Friday May 6th 1881 I sewed in the morning some after doing up the work. In the afternoon I went down to see when Mary could come to sew again. I came over home before supper and after supper I went back and took May with me. Mr Carney and wife are here. Saturday May 7th 1881 I did some baking this forenoon and sewed in the afternoon. I finished my silk skirt and worked some on my chain stitching Sunday May 8th 1881 I was busy about the work most of the forenoon and after dinner John got a buggy and we girls rode over home. I took the buggy and went down to get Lizzie. Mother went to the valley and I got the supper. John came over after her and Lizzie stayed till after supper. I was tired and went to bed early. Weather very pleasant
